Each year Miss Shen forms travel teams in age groups 10 and under (10U), 12 and under (12U), 14 and under (14U), and 16 and under (16U). Miss Shen also has an 18 and under (18U) team and an open division team. These teams participate in a more competitive environment by playing in leagues against other area travel teams and participating in many local and out-of-town tournaments. Directions to many of these local tournaments are available on the Hudson-Mohawk District web site. Additionally these teams participate in tournaments hosted by Miss Shen .

The rosters for these teams are determined by tryouts that occur at various times throughout the year (based on age group). Click here to access additional information about the guidelines the league uses to conduct tryouts and select travel teams.

Travel players are required to participate in the league's recreational program (there are some exceptions). Please review the document at this LINK for details on this requirement and the penalties for not adhering to the requirement.
